How to change from 'XP' to 'Classic' Style windows from command line (or batch file)

**ps3cheats** · 12-Mar-2007, 02:15 AM

I would like to know the command line syntax for changing from XP to Classic Style Windows. I do this procedure multiple times in my job and I rely heavily on scripts and batch files to do repetative tasks like this. Just can't find any documentation on how THIS one might be done

Location of User Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\
Explorer
Location of System Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\
Explorer
Value(s) to Modify: ClassicShell
Correct Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: 0= Default, 1 = Classic Desktop

Save this to classicshell.reg, in notepad and you should be good to go....
